Answers:
Being a former chef and having some background with Northern Chinese and Mongolian cooking, the broad "ga mein", are made from wheat flour, wheat starch, water, oil, salt and baking powder.
Usually they are hand made, you have seen those guys on the Food Channel stretching the dough between there hands, they make a thinner noodle for soups, a broader noodle for stir frys and steamed noodle dishes and a wide flat noodle for a stuffed one like the rice noodles on the dim sum carts.
Most are serve in soups, but I have had a stir fried lamb with a spicy chil-sesame sauce serve over steamed broad noodles. I am fond of the stuffed noodles often sold in Beijing for breakfast, with a bit of broth, fried onions and sesame oil.
There are alot of dried or processed egg noodles but they are mostly of the wheat form, in the northern parts of China wheat is king.
